After my last entry, I wound up only playing a handful more events - the razzament (made it deep, but to no avail), a few other midstakes NL tourneys, and the ME, which I just busted in an hour or so ago. It wasn't one of the best tourneys I've ever played, but for how card dead I was, clawing as deep ITM as I did (300-something after not seeing a PP for the last 2 hours and restealing every hand I played) seems pretty reasonable/made my FTOPS profitable. I also took fifth in the Cake 75K for 3700 while I was at it [running like the sun to get there], which makes today an actually profitable Sunday, too/includes my second Sunday major FT in a month.

More impressively, congrats to cking on what I'm pretty sure is his first 100K score (6'th in the $2500 FTOPS) and another chip in the WC unbusto fund. They've run so bad at staking for so long that this isn't gonna get them *that* far, but at least it's a good start and a nice lead up to the ME.

Also, P5'er Halfrek won his second FTOPS event and is up 850K...incredibly sick. I don't know the guy, but I've always been impressed by his play and I think I learned a little bit from watching that FT. Nice job.
